Our Abba Father is always at work. We joined the Father in His work at the Kerch, Ukraine Hope Center summer camp. Today was our last camp day before children started going home. It was filled with fun things and emotions.
We completed the lessons on the Fruit of the Spirit during morning the Bible lesson. The weather was beautiful so we went to the sea. Children had fun in the water as well as children made sand sculptures. One team made beautiful sand replica of the Hope Center facility that included the cross and some greenery.
During the 10 days camp, children from 6 to 16 were made to feel special through Jesus' love flowing through the camp staff and the American team. During the closing ceremony children went to a microphone to share what they felt about things that happened at the camp while a bonfire crackled in the cool evening air. This was a an unexpected emotional time because the children's hearts poured out with thanksgiving to God and all the people that made this happen.
This camp was a moment in time where children could see people join together from across the ocean in love. Each camp is specially designed by our Creator to meet all of us at the perfect point in our walk. We were able to communicate Jesus' love through actions, deeds and warm hugs. We could not have asked Jesus for a more rewarding time to spend two weeks. We were here for such a time as this.
“Little children, let us not love in word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” 1 John 3:18
